The Defectors Weld sits right on Shepherd's Bush Green, which makes it the obvious meeting point if your group is arriving from different directions. Downstairs is a normal busy London bar. Upstairs is the room to book: sofas, tables you can actually eat at, and enough quiet to hear each other before kick-off.
On Shepherd's Bush Green, minutes from three stations. Roughly a ten minute walk to Loftus Road. Kitchen open through the day, not just at peak service. Upstairs room for groups who want to sit and eat. Fireplace and sofas in winter. Handy for the Shepherd's Bush Empire and Westfield.
The most useful eat-before-the-game address on the Green. Pub kitchen doing burgers, roasts and Sunday plates, ten minutes on foot from Loftus Road.
